Almost nine in ten Britons would accept further future local lockdowns in the absence of a vaccine for Covid-19, a new study has found, with the majority willing to embrace aspects of the ‘new normal’ for the foreseeable future.

A new survey from King’s College London has revealed that if no treatment for coronavirus can be found, 87 per cent would accept local lockdowns, as currently seen in Leicester, areas of Yorkshire and the Greater Manchester region.
